Very Important Question!!!!

[LUVMY04V]

What wires near the dashboard can I tap for power and ground that will work with the dash lights?????

I really can't think of anything right now besides the cluster. Are you looking for a source for the light on you N20 guage? Hmmmmm. What about the heat/A/C display? Does it come on with the dash lights?

Cigarette Lighter in the Tray you modified.

I'm not sure, but I think he wants it to light up along with the dash lights? If not, cig lighter would be a close place to tap constant juice.

Why are you making this difficult? Maybe an micro electronic dimmer switch?

Honestly, I've never really paid attention to what dims with the cluster. On past cars the climate control & audio displays would adjust with the guage cluster, but I don't know about the CTS!?!

Hey Luv, I was just looking at your cardomain page & have a question for ya... It says 25 led reverse lights? So is that one bulb with 25 little leds in it? I've seen those that light up red, but not white. Where'd ya get them & are they a lot brighter than a standard bulb? I want to black out my reverse lights a bit more than they already are, but I still want to be able to see behind me at night. Thanks for the info & sorry for the thread jack!

Our dimmer is in the overhead lighting pod. Not easy to get to.
